Toddler-Sized Towel Hooks

I am so sorry for the long absence, my friends! In honor of my children (who, as usual, facilitated my inability to devote time to the blog. ha!), I thought I’d share a little something I made for their bathroom.

I firmly believe in developing independence in housekeeping from my little guys (who are 1 and 3, by the way), even in the small things, like hanging up their own towels. So I created some fun towel hooks for them that they can reach.

They were super simple to make and really affordable, too. By catching 50% off at Hobby Lobby on both unfinished wood and knobs, I spent ~$10 each. I simply used some “Sunbleached” stain by Rustoleum (which I already had) on the letters and affixed the knobs.

A little tip (alas, I learned this the hard way), 3M strips are NOT enough. They may hold perfectly until your one-year-old tries to pull his towel off… Let’s just say you don’t want that knob to fall on his toe! In the end, I put a little screw into the letters and used a 3M strip to ensure that the knob wouldn’t spin.

I wanted something that was fun for the boys (and my three-year-old especially loves the letters) but wasn’t so childish that a guest using the bathroom would feel like they were in a kid zone. I love the result, and I hope you do, too!

I’ll be sharing more of their bathroom soon… I am determined to finish showing you all my house!

Did you enjoy that?

Rachel,
I love this!
My daughter has one bathroom for their FOUR daughters and she’s been trying to find a towel hook idea for years that would suit their age span ( 1-10). I’m going to take her to her local Hobby Lobby on my next visit and we will get this solved once and for all. By the way, it’s perfect since they often refer to each girl by the letter of their first name 😉
